LLM trained on 1800s texts shows promising historical Q&A capabilities

A user has compiled a substantial dataset of 160GB, comprising 40 billion tokens of English text from the 1800s (specifically 1800-1875) sourced from England and the United States. An initial evaluation model with 500 million parameters has been trained on a 5 billion token sample of this dataset. This model has also been fine-tuned on question-and-answer pairs derived from the dataset, enabling it to respond to queries about historical figures, places, and events, though its accuracy is currently limited as it is an evaluation model.
